
Roles deal with security settings in clients, MIP SDK and more

Time profiles deal with time aspects of the two profiles-types
Together these three features provide unique control and customizing possibilities with regards to
XProtect Smart Client user rights.
Example: You need a user in your XProtect Smart Client setup who should only be allowed to
view live video (no playback) from selected cameras, and only during normal working hours
(8.00 to 16.00). One way of setting this up could be as follows:
1. Create a Smart Client profile, and name it, for example, Live only.
2. Specify the needed live/playback settings on Live only.
3. Create a time profile, and name it, for example, Daytime only.
4. Specify the needed time period on Daytime only.
5. Create a new role and name it, for example, Guard (Selected cameras).
6. Specify which cameras Guard (Selected cameras) can use.
7. Assign the Live only Smart Client profile and the Daytime only time profile to the Guard
(Selected cameras) role to connect the three elements.
You now have a mix of the three features creating the wanted result and allowing you room for easy
fine-tuning and adjustments. Note also that you can do the setup in a different order, for example,
creating the role first and then the Smart Client profile and the time profile, or any other order you
prefer.
Smart Client profile properties
